This document discusses ICT integration in education. It defines ICT integration as incorporating technology resources and practices into daily school routines and management. ICT integration allows teachers to use technology as a tool to aid student learning across subjects. When integrated effectively, technology supports different learning styles and can engage students in critical thinking. However, merely using technology, like showing a video, differs from integration which involves conceptual and procedural learning through technology tools like interactive whiteboards and video conferencing. The document outlines how teachers can integrate ICT and their important role in facilitating students' use of technology for learning.

1. ICT’S INTEGRATION IN
EDUCATION
Presentation by MTHETHWA SIYABONGA

2. OBJECTIVES
• Define the term “ICT Integration”
• Distinguish between ICT Integration and the use of technology
• List and discuss the ICT characteristics
• Outline the important roles of a teacher in ICT Integration

3. WHAT IS ICT INTEGRATTION?
• ICT Integration is defined as the “incorporation of technology resources and
technology based practices into the daily routines, work and management of
schools” (National Forum on Education Statistics)
• Technology integration allows teachers to use technology as a tool to aid in student
learning
• Technology can be used in all subject domains to engage learners in reflective,
critical thinking about the ideas they are studying
• Technology in the classroom supports different learning styles

4. ICT INTEGRATION CONT’D

5. USING TECHNOLOGY
• USE: The state of being employed or used
• Technology use is when there is no conceptual or procedural learning involved
• There is no engagement while using technology in the classroom. Students who
technology are only developing surface learning techniques rather than in-depth
learning techniques

6. ICT INTEGRATION VS USE OF
TECHNOLOGY
• ICT Integration
• Classroom performance systems
• Video conferencing
• synchronEyes
• Podcasting
• Microworlds
• Interactive Whiteboards
• Use of technology
• A teacher using an overhead projector
to show the students information
• Watching a video
• Browsing web pages on the internet
• Playing video games

7. ICT INTEGRATION CONT’D

8. HOW TO INTEGRATE ICT
EFFECTIVELY
• Learners use computer-based services to search and find relevant information.
• Learners retrieve information
• Learners decode information in variety of information of forms (written, statistical
and graphic)
• Learners critically evaluate information of different fields of knowledge
• Learners can use computer based services to write, analyze, present and
communicate information

9. TEACHERS ROLE IN THE
INTEGRATION OF ICT IN EDUCATION

10. THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT
• As a source of knowledge
• As a medium to transit knowledge
• As a means of interaction/ dialogue

11. ATTRIBUTES OF COMPUTER
BASED TECHNOLOGY
• Multi- sensory delivery: text, graphics, animation, sound and video.
• Active learning: enhanced learner interest.
• Co-operative learning: positive group/ social interaction.
• Communication skills: one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many
• Multicultural education: link students from across the country around the world
• Motivation: greater learner engagement (time)

12. LEARNING RESOURCES

13. ICT TOOLS
• Multimedia PC, Laptop, Notebook
• CDs & DVD, Digital video, still camera
• Internet and its tools, email, browsers, websites, search engines and charts
• Computer aided instruction & computer mediated video/ audio conferencing
• Digital libraries, e-books & electric publications.
• Microsoft publishing – news letter, poster, brochure

14. ADVANTAGES OF ICT

15. INFLUENCE OF ICT IN STUDENT
LEARNING ICT
